UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICEo CHARLES PERLEY, OF N EW YORK, N. Y.

BAND FOR BUNDLES.

Spectication forming part of Letters Patent No. 49,435, dated August 15, 1865; anledated August 4, 1865.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES PEELEY,ot` the city and State of New York, have invented, made,and applied to useacertain Improved Baud ior Bundles ot' Papers, Bank-Bills, 85o.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same,

` reference being` had to the annexed drawings,

making part of this specification, wherein-'y Figure l is a perspective view, representing said band inthe forni it would assume around abundleof billsorpapers,and Fig.2 represents said band as laid out hat.

My invention is a new article oimanufaeture, consisting in a tape or narrow strip of woven material with an eyelet near one end to receive the other end of such tape or strip, whereby any bundle of bills,papers, packages, &c., can be securely held together by passing such band around the said package or bundle and entering the end through the eyelet and drawing it suflicientlytight, and then tucking the moving end of the tape behind the band, between that and the parcel, or forming a knot 'for packages that require great security. This article is very cheaply made, and for bundles of bank-bills or papers is soeasily applied or removed, and the tape gives thefacility for printing or writing the desired characters to designate the contents ofthe bundle.

In the drawings, a is the tape, folded upon itself at one end to receive the eyelet b, and the other end of the tape should be cut otf di- 4agonally,in order to enter the same easily through the eyelet, although I prefer to roll the tape up after applying Igum or other adhev sive material, so as to form the end of the tape similar to a tag; or, if desired, a metal tag, like a shoelace tag, might be applied to give the facility for easily entering the end of the tape through the eyelet. These tape-bands may CHARLES PEELEY.
